The city of New York will pay a settlement of over $2 million to three white female Department of Education employees over their charges of being replaced by “less-qualified people of color.”
Lois Herrera, Jaye Murray and Laura Feijoo each will receive $700,000, the New York Post reports.
The three have waited five years for a resolution to their complaints, which included former Chancellor Richard Carranza’s crusade against so-called “toxic whiteness.”
Herrera, holder of a master’s degree from Harvard, claimed one of Carranza’s deputies “stripped” her of her Office of Safety and Youth Development CEO title and replaced her with Mark Rampersant, who’s black and has a GED.
